Small list, strong hit rate. Pondicheri carries a James Beard Finalist 2020 nod, Kata Robata a Semifinalist 2020, and Toga rounds things out without needing a badge to earn its spot. All three land Damn Good, all three run $$ to $$$. Upper Kirby isn't a deep neighborhood in our count yet, but what's here holds up.
